critiques about whether a game is "broken" are invariably off-base. "breaking" a game is fun. a game containing a winning state is not a problem. there can be design issues surrounding this-- if it's too trivial to accomplish, &c. but having a "broken" state is never a game design problem.

nominations for the Nebulas and the BSFA Awards close this Friday! it would mean the world to me if you considered Dragonfly for anything! *i couldn't find a screengrab with four contestants so, unfortunately, BSFA doesn't get a rose.

my pettiest linguistic pedantry is that "platonic" properly should only be used to refer to relationships founded on mutual unrequited homosexual yearning.

Stories are allowed to resolve with failure. Characters are allowed to do wrong. Bad consequences are better than convenient ones.

my #1 writing tip is that it is almost never a good idea to hide context from the reader. you think it's going to be a dramatic reveal! that will make everything make sense in hindsight! but it's actually just muddled and confusing.

It likely makes me sound like a hipster, but I was one of those 29 sales because I preordered it. This is a great book, and more people need to discover the beguiling strangeness of the Mkalis Cycle. I say this selfishly because I want to read the third one.

whether or not a language has grammatical gender is unrelated to whether or not a culture has gendered roles. ex: Modern Turkish and Classical Chinese do not have grammatical gender. The cultures that speak/spoke these languages absolutely have/had strong gender roles.
